Inc. (PIN KSHEETS: SIVC) and its wholly owned Redwood Capital subsidiary today
commented on the recent announcement that a Redwood Capital client has received
conditional approval to graduate from the TSX Venture to the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSX).

Boyuan Construction Group, Inc., a fast-growing construction company in China of
commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects, announced on
April 15, 2010 that it had received conditional approval to graduate from the
TSX Venture Exchange and list its common shares and debentures on the Toronto
Stock Exchange (TSX). Final approval is subject to Boyuan meeting certain
conditions and requirements. The company's common stock currently trades on the
TSX Venture under the symbol BOY and its debentures under the symbol BOY.DB.

for its services, Redwood Capital received shares of Boyuan common stock.

indication of the success of the Redwood Capital client as a public company and
its long-term potential in the public markets," said S3 Investment Company

and stockholders of Boyuan Construction, which we are proud to count ourselves
among, on this announcement, and we look forward to sharing in the company's
